The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

"This is the fucking modern version of the inland river boat troop!" Zhao Tong understood. The Huntuo Army was the Xia Army's naval force, but it was only for auxiliary status and had a low status in the Xia Army, so it was not famous. But

As a surprise force, it can often play an unexpected role.

"Zhao Zhong, how many troops are there guarding the gates in the irrigation area along the river?" Zhao Tong asked after understanding the situation clearly.

"Your Majesty, there is a team of soldiers on duty at each gate!" Zhao Zhong replied, "Your Majesty, that's not where Xia Jun's target is, right?" He is also his 'wise as foolish' guy, he looks dull, but he is very thoughtful.

, and immediately thought of something from the prince’s question.

"We have to be careful. The number of Xia Army's navy that can be seen now is about two thousand. Maybe this is also the vanguard. We have fought against Xia Army many times. They must know that they cannot conquer Dongguan Town with such a small number of people, so

I judged that their target was the Qinqu Gate, and thought

Repeat the same trick, and take advantage of the abundant rain and the rising water level to release water to flood the camp!" Zhao Tong nodded slightly and said, "You immediately add troops to each outpost. It must reach the strength of a capital, and each point must not be less than two troops.

Machine guns, Qin Qu’s troops need to be strengthened!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, but in this way we have to deploy two battalions of troops, and the troops in the city will inevitably be empty. If the Xia Army's goal is Dongguan Town, then..." Zhao Zhong said, but he quickly thought that the Prince was still in the city.

Wouldn't it be a sin to put the prince in danger in his camp?

"I know your little plan, don't worry, I immediately ordered the two battalions of archers to come to the rescue. Now you can feel at ease!" Zhao Tong smiled, patted Zhao Zhong on the shoulder and said.

"Haha, my subordinates are mainly worried about the safety of the prince!" Zhao Zhong smiled sheepishly when the prince revealed his concern, and quickly arranged for his troops to leave the city.

"Your Highness, why did you only mobilize two battalions of archers instead of sending a large army to help and annihilate the Xia army in one fell swoop?" Zhe Meiluan was puzzled by the Prince's arrangement and asked curiously.

"This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The assassination of the king, the changing lights on the other side, and the sneak attack by the Huntuo Army. These seemingly isolated things, in fact, as long as you think about them together, you will understand that these are Xia Jun.

It had been planned long ago, and in Lingzhou City, the Xia army had fifty thousand soldiers, plus Dianji's strong and powerful troops.

.The number of combatable troops will not be less than 80,000, so we still have the strength to fight. So far, we are just busy dealing with various emergencies, and we don’t know the key targets that the Xia Army will attack. If we deploy troops without authorization, there will be a gap in our strength.

Xia Jun will take the opportunity to send troops to achieve his goals!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Oh, so the prince will only divide his troops to defend the key targets and wait and see what happens!" Zhe Meiluan said suddenly.

"Absolutely!" Zhao Tong said with a smile and nodded. Then he ordered people to pass orders to all the armies. Each battalion was on strict alert and no one was allowed to move without orders. Wangfu was very nervous at this time. The assassins in the city had not been eliminated yet.

The prince's target is too obvious when he stands on the top of the city. It won't be possible to fight later.

He was safe, thinking that he would definitely not agree to let him return to the city, so he coaxed the prince into the tower and occupied the entire second floor. Guards were arranged to wait at every window, and he never left the prince's side.

.Li Shuo led the guards to surround the tower, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

The Xia Army's Huntuo Army, which was flowing down the river, also entered the range of the Zhongyong Army's artillery. The prepared artillery began to fire, and Zhao Tao lay on the window and looked out. Wangfu and Xiangfu each held a shield and guarded nervously.

Next to the prince, the artillery fire was fierce, but the effect made Zhao Tong shake his head and wonder.

Shoot solid bullets. Unless they hit the target, they won't even bounce. They can only stir up a column of water and sink to the bottom of the river. Shoot explosive bullets. The ignition fuse they use is not waterproof and will fall into the water after a slight delay.

Being annihilated, the effect is not as good as a solid bullet, it really feels like a cannon to kill mosquitoes!

"Let Zhao Zhong stop the artillery fire. This is a waste of gunpowder. Wait for the enemy to reach the shore before attacking!" It's true that I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. This shot was like a bunch of copper coins thrown into the water, but fortunately it was still there.

If you can hear the sound, it’s better to let them rest in such a way of relying on character to hit the target, Zhao Tong frowned and said.

The tenacious Xia army sailors paddled hard towards the river bank, but escaped the cannons and machine guns. After experiencing the battle of defending Xiazhou City, the Zhongyong Army summed up a set of tactics and built sheep and horses in front of the city.

The wall was built around the city, and a ring of fortifications consisting of individual soldier bunkers and machine gun fortresses was built as the first line of defense for the city. When the Xia army entered the effective range of the muskets, thousands of guns were fired, and a heavy rain of bullets was sprinkled on the Xia army in the river.

military.

The people who had been shot kicked off their legs and went with the flow. What was unlucky was that those who stuck their buttocks out and blew for a long time before blowing the "Huntuo" had their eyes drilled out by bullets, and they were beaten into their original form and then into their deputy.

You idiot, the people above don't want to be washed away by the water, so they can only try their best to go to the shore.

While swimming over, I was lucky enough to finally touch the river bank and touch the line successfully. However, I found that I still couldn't escape the bad luck. I couldn't go ashore. I could only grab the river bank with my hands and hide under the embankment, trying hard to prevent myself from being hit by bullets.

, was carried away by the current of Sichuan...

"Tsk, tsk, these water thieves are drenched in light rain and soaked in the water. Will they catch a cold when they go back?" Zhao Tong said with deep sympathy as he looked at the Xia army sailors struggling in the water.

At this time, the Tibetan archers who came for reinforcements also arrived and immediately joined the battle. The muskets could only shoot straight, but the bows and arrows could be thrown. Those Xia troops hiding under the embankment had nowhere to hide. After several rounds of volleys,

There are hundreds more floats in the Yellow River

Corpse. Xia Jun was not a fool. He quickly changed his tactics. After entering the range of the Song Army's firearms, they all jumped off Hun Tuo, leaving only their heads exposed and pushing Hun Tuo forward while pulling away from each other.

distance, reducing the chance of hitting.

Several large rafts of the Xia Army finally reached the shore. They used this as a cover and finally went ashore. Using the corpses of their companions and the Hunduo who came ashore, the rafts built a bunker, established a beachhead, and gradually moved forward.

.But at this time the artillery of the Song Army started firing again, and the bunkers they built were like paper in front of the artillery.

General, it was blown to pieces after a few rounds of artillery fire. This scene reminded Zhao Tao of the American troops who landed in Normandy in the previous movie. They were suppressed by the fierce German artillery fire on the beach, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, helpless in the dense rain of bullets.

Hiding everywhere, waiting for a bullet to come from nowhere and take your life...

"Your Majesty, the Xia army of Lingzhou City launched a night attack from the south gate, but was repulsed by General Long and the defenders of Zelu Road!"

"Your Majesty, the Xia army of Lingzhou City launched a night attack from the north gate, but was repulsed by the defenders of Huanqing Road!"

"Your Majesty, the scout camp has discovered Jingzhou, and the Yongzhou Xia army has built a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River. It seems to be reinforcing Lingzhou!"

"Your Majesty, a Xia army navy took advantage of our opportunity to intercept the navy attacking Dongguan Town, secretly crossed the river, attacked Qinqu and several other gates, and tried to dig a canal to release water!"

"Your Majesty, the Guards are searching the city and have killed all the assassins in the camp. Someone was found in the city trying to attack the granary, but they have been annihilated. At this time, they are searching for spies lurking in the city!"...

"This is definitely a planned and premeditated action, but who planned such a big action, and what is the ultimate goal of using so much power?" As the information reached Zhao Yu, his

The attention also shifted from Dongguan Town to the entire Lingzhou battlefield. The person who planned the operation can be said to be thoughtful and well-planned. He looked at the red and blue arrows on the map and thought about it.

"The purpose of sending out assassins to assassinate myself was to make the entire siege force leaderless and fall into chaos; the defenders of Lingzhou City launched night attacks everywhere to contain our army and prevent each other from supporting each other; the Xia army who attacked Dongguan Town wanted to take advantage of the chaos to burn down the granary.

caused chaos, but they knew that Dongguan

The town is heavily defended. With no siege equipment and lack of heavy weapon support, it is impossible to attack. However, they still launch attacks like moths flying into a flame. Then their purpose is only one!" Zhao Tong quickly analyzed everything.

With the information coming in, my thinking became clearer.

"Qinqu, the enemy is repeating their old tricks. All attacks are feints. Qinqu is their ultimate goal. They are desperately attacking Dongguan Town to prevent us from dividing our troops to support the defenders guarding the gate!" Zhao Tong's finger fell on

At the gate of Qinqu, the plan was perfect, but after a lot of mistakes were made, the assassin who assassinated him had not succeeded yet, or the assassin was too confident and believed that he would definitely die, so he set fire to the commander's mansion first.

This fire was a signal to launch attacks everywhere, so Lingzhou City and the Xingqing Mansion reinforcements across the bank launched attacks at the same time. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tong accidentally discovered the abnormal lights of the Xingzhou reinforcements and escaped.

He made arrangements for the assassination based on his keen sense, but the Xia troops everywhere were at a loss and launched their own attacks according to the plan.

"Send the order and order the three battalions of Lion Generals and the Three Leopard General Battalions to quickly reinforce the gates of the irrigation areas along the coast to ensure that they are not lost. If they are lost, military law will be engaged!" Zhao Tong ordered, "The other departments only need to strictly guard and are not allowed to go to war!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Xia army over there in Jingzhou? Should we send troops to intercept and monitor them?" Zhe Meiluan reminded him hurriedly when she saw that the prince had sent several orders in succession but left them behind.

"Don't worry about them, their job is to pick up cheap ones. As long as the gate here is not lost, we will be safe and sound, and they will be fine too!" Zhao Tong explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty, something bad happened. Captain Zhao is injured!" Zhao Tong just relaxed for a moment when a guard suddenly ran in and said in panic.

"Captain Zhao, which Captain Zhao, tell me quickly!" Zhao Tong grabbed the guard and grabbed his collar and asked.

"That's Captain Zhao Xinzhao!" Konoe was startled and said hurriedly.

"Xin Zhao! Is he seriously injured..." Zhao Tong's face changed and he asked nervously. To be continued...
